just FYI: i think the next chapter of sugar husband au is going to be delayed. i am just not in the right mental space to write/edit, in light of everything going on here and in my real life, and i think it& #39;s best if i take that pressure off myself.

super sorry https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="❤️" title="Rotes Herz" aria-label="Emoji: Rotes Herz">
i& #39;m not sure how long it& #39;ll be, so i don& #39;t want to make any promises. i& #39;m also feeling a bit overwhelmed with everything and may take a bit of a twitter break, if i can keep myself off of here.

for everyone out here fighting the good fight, i see and appreciate you. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="❤️" title="Rotes Herz" aria-label="Emoji: Rotes Herz">
i also want to say, that we& #39;re all responsible for addressing our own internal biases regarding members of other marginalized communities, even if we are members of other marginalized communities, ourselves.
i& #39;m maybe not the best person to say this, or the most eloquent. but the private conversations i& #39;ve had with reylos of different marginalized groups where they& #39;ve stated that they feel unsafe here scare me.
fandom is supposed to be an escape for everyone. it shouldn& #39;t be a place for racism, antisemitism, homophobia, transphobia, islamophobia, anti-feminism, or any other kind of xenophobia.

people shouldn& #39;t feel silenced.
it really scared me to see the names of some of the people silencing others as people that i& #39;ve interacted with and was somewhat friendly with.

i wonder if you met me in real life, if you knew what i looked like, where i was born, would you still be here supporting my fics?
i& #39;m really new to this fandom, but i loved being here because i felt safe and accepted. i hate that other people have not.
lastly, i have not ONCE seen a woman of my cultural background represented positively/accurately in Western media/literature.

my entire 25 years of life.
it& #39;s gotten to the point that i& #39;m relieved when i don& #39;t see a diversity attempt, because at least it means i& #39;m not being misrepresented.

please remember this when you put BIPOC and/or Jewish characters in your stories. if you& #39;re making us villains, you& #39;re NOT representing us.
i& #39;ll shut up now, but i hope someone out there reads this thread and gets something out of it.

my page/fics are a safe space for everyone.

unless you& #39;re xenophobic in any way.
